A few words ... little bit freaky .......... from my hatch .......

Hello and Welcome,
Since few days I've been brooding over some weird thoughts. I don't know why. That's the purpose of this post. Before being more puzzled, let me express my views & I think I must share the things I've learnt and realized so far. It might sound little bit harsh, but I'm sorry.


In this present scenario, when our country is emerging as one of the strongest economic powerhouse of the world and ushers a new horizon to the rest of the globe, it is very important for the people to come forward and take necessary responsibility to play a significant role by taking part in this developmental process. But we, the so-called responsible and sensible citizens of India are noway  interested in hearing that. The so-called civil society is ostentatiously worried about the erosion of moral values and respects, specially when the entire society became paranoid and acts like a reptile. But has anybody tried to find out the reason behind this sort of mentality? What made us think in a so rude or rather self-centered way? Nobody can answer it. Because India is such a country where population is 121 crore and increasing in a rapid rate. There is no solution. A country where ministers and MPs are accused of money laundering over 2 lac crore (if not more). A country where cancer of many forms is going to emerge as an epidemic in the coming few years. There is no solution. There is no campaigning. 80 crore of people earn less than Rs.20/- per day in the 2nd most developing country of the world. A country where baby-food is costlier than mobile phone. A country where cars are huge in number as compared to roads. Above all, there is deep recession as an aftereffect of global economic meltdown. There is cut-throat competition in every sector because of the population and situation is getting even worse because of reservation in every sector. To survive in the keen competition, you have to be tricky. Focus to the goals are most important thing I think. Goals are more important than the way you achieve it. Yah.. morality is good as long as it works for you. But nothing is good if it doesn't work for you and anything bad might be good for you if it works for you. "Good" or "Bad" is absolutely relative. You can't always take the right decisions, rather you should always take the decisions and make them right. You just have to love yourself. That's it. This is not a kinda vocal tonic or anything else, that's the reality. You might be technically at par always, but you know, there are always required certain subtleties which you can call x-factor or zing-factor that actually makes you different from others. You can reach upto certain level by your academic skills. But to go beyond that limit you need to cultivate yourself. Secondly, another thing I need to point out is the treatment the guardians should provide to their children. You have to understand that ultimately nobody is your friend in the professional arena. In the era of rat-race everybody is running after his/her own targets. Less no.of people become happy watching you succeed, and more no.of people become happy watching you fail. Now you decide, what you should do. Over-possessiveness is kinda of mental blocks among the guardians which ultimately causes harm. In research, it has been seen that overprotective children ultimately suffer emotional insecurity and identity-crisis. Because in every situation if guardians interfere and take decisions for their children, then no decision-making capability will be built up among the children which is utterly necessary in professional world. In other way, one needs his/her family-support to do really something big. Because, no risk..... no gain. The more you take risk the more you reach closer to gain success. So, risk management is another important thing. Another thing is stress management. The person whose adjustment and adaptability skills are better than the other will ultimately survive. Decision making is a mental game. To become mentally self-sufficient, you have to face the situation and have to take decisions on your own. That's the way one grows up and becomes fit for every situation. As it's a kind of war, so nothing is unfair in love and war.

A Paradoxical Juncture in the Modern Society in India

The purpose of this writing is to throw some light to the mindsets of modern era societies. The significant thing is that what we have been telling and believing over the decades is Indian society is a rich blend of traditional culture and modern practices with a heritage value. Yah .. It's true ... Nobody is denying that. But this is also a true fact the most number of people having faith in superstition live in India. Is that what is expected from us? We have been telling over the years that we are the one who are always in the forefront in respecting elders. Still lot of elders are being molested and harassed everyday by their own kin nowadays. The amount of money expended every year to protect the high profile politicians and other celebs in exchange of millions of common people's life is only possible in India. Only in India people are dying for food where SIM card is free of cost. Baby-foods are quite expensive as compared to the body-sprays, perfumes and deodorants. Yes this is only possible in India. Kissing in public is a criminal offense, Fine! But honor-killing! Isn't that a crime?

Tell me one thing truly ..........  Have you ever thought why the number of scientists is so less in India as compared to other 1st world countries? The reason is simple. Whereas in US, huge amount of money is allocated for research & development in every fiscal budget, but in India only a meager amount is allocated for scientific & technological research. Because Indian government thinks that these all are useless. They think Indians are neither intelligent nor brilliant enough to carry on research projects. More importantly whatever research-projects are in progress specially at the national level, most of them are in the form of pilot projects. Why? Then should we assume that the government is not confident enough to invest a bigger value for research projects? This situation is absolutely obnoxious. At the same time have a look at the US, even after the Columbia disaster, they did not lose confidence on themselves. Rather they did fight back with another great invention of Discovery Space Shuttle. It's an exemplary footstep of US government which will definitely inspire others to think in that way. Another thing is that the our national labs are getting scarce everyday in number as huge no. of equipments are left damaged within the labs and nobody is not paying heed to this miserable situation. And if you see about the role of Indian media in this regard! Can you remember a recent accident where a space shuttle designed by ISRO was burnt into ashes just after few minutes on launching? That time the role of the media was really "interesting"!  Have you seen any noticeable coverage by any of those print or electronic media? No ... because this news was not quite lucrative enough for making significant profit. "Money does really matter"! They just seemed to be deaf and dumb as nothing serious had happened. There are also a bunch of examples of this sort of yellow-journalism.

It's far more lucrative to interfere to any celebs's personal life and make gossips out of it and cover every minute details of their day-to-day affairs. Because people want BREAKING NEWS & SCANDAL EXPOSED. Isn't it? After all, news-making is a business now ! How will you survive in the keen competition unless you can entertain people with your products? Yah ... news is a product now ....

Can we, common people avoid the responsibility for the decline of innovative scientific & technological research in India? No we can't .... How many of us really encourage our children and promote them to become scientist and to work something exceptional for the good for society? I think, everybody has a general social responsibility irrespective of their diverse professions.

Think twice ..........

Thank you for having time reading this post ...........

A few words for Learning English ...........

First of all before going to the details I like to remind you that once I said it is very important to write down whatever thoughts or speculations are wriggling in your mind all at once in a piece of paper or anywhere else, so that you will not get jumbled up with it again.

Ok ....... enough babbling ..........

Let's try to enlighten to some of those things one by one .......

i.)  Before writing anything in English you must be grammatically correct. Sorry, there is no alternative way. You just can't escape from it.
ii.) At first, try to collate the entire idea and draw a picturesque in your mind upon which your article will be based on.
iii.) You have to properly coin the words like formal, informal, slang usages (wherever and whenever necessary) so that your characterization perfectly fits to the tee. Increase vocabulary everyday by any means. Cue Card techniques might be a great choice.
iv.) Your only objective has to be to make the entire story visualized to the reader and create an irresistible interest among them.
v.) Try to make the story concise and crisp. Don't fill it with exaggerated words or events otherwise making it monotonous and people will turn away from your article.
vi.) As far as speaking English is concerned, it is always desirable to speak it like a native speaker. Learning a particular subject can no way reach to the fine grained quality and perfection which can only be achieved by congenital means.
vii.) Before going to the finer details related to pronunciation, articulation, accents etc. you must watch out for any other hidden mistakes in word coinage or anything else.
viii.) Try to give the feel of imperceptibility and handle it with proper delicacy.
ix.) And last but not the least, usages of only difficult and hard words can never make your story popular in public. Keep in mind.
x.) The most important thing whether you are willing to learn English for any sort of requirement or you just love to being with the language.
xi.) If you fall in love with English, then only you will be able to master a particular specially a foreign language.
xii.) To master a language you are not born with, you have to sink yourself pretty much inside that environment.
xiii.) There are so many words, phrases, colloquial terminologies, usages which we really don't explore while learning English. Learning a new thing is always a lovely experience for anybody, be it a language or be it anything else. English is such a great language which is etymologically superior than any other language and has highest compatibility over most of the most spoken languages all over the world. This is a true fact that we, the Indians are using only 10%-20% of its gigantic resource.
xiv.) Another important thing which I forgot to mention is the MOTHER-TONGUE-INFLUENCE. It's a major problem in the non-speaking countries where other local vernaculars play a vital role in communication. To eradicate this particular problem, you have to tactfully evade the places, situations, people who are uncomfortable in speaking English. Being a rich language & having diverse dialects across the world, it's also influenced by various local languages. Once you get into the environment, just try to sink in it. However, most of us are having this sort of problems. So, no worries.
xv.) There are so many ways you can reach to that capability level. Watch only English TV shows, tele-serials, dramas, and of course newscasts, and lot of movies too. Listen English Radios all the time. Read Story-Books, Novels especially of contemporary writers. You just have to be with that language as much time as possible. There is no other way out. See, you can form a group comprising 3/4 persons and arrange group discussions on current affairs or may be on some bizarre topics. WATCH-READ-LISTEN-SPEAK this language all the time. That's all. Sorry again for my garrulity.
